Finger tissue model and blood perfused skin tissue phantom
Abstract
Measurements of optical properties of fingernail and underlying tissues using OCT are presented. Review and measurements of Raman spectra of tissue and phantom compounds were done. Updating of modeling algorithm for scattering coefficient calculation on the basis of integrating sphere measurements accounting for particle size-distribution was also done. The adequate fingernail and underlying tissue optical model at 830 nm was evaluation. Tissue phantoms potentially suitable for calibration of Raman instrumentation for glucose sensing were designed and tested on the basis of epoxy resin, TiO2-nanoparticles and micron-sized silica particles with the capillary net-work.
